Thomas, I read somewhere you added some alcohol & water to the Oud Ishaq? What did you think of the outcome, my stomach turned when I read it, now with it in my possession, I kind of understand why you tried it.
This is another awesome oud, this comes close to some oud I received in the 70's, my wife's mother(millionaire) lived in Bangkok & gifted it along with some gold when we got married. It was toward the end of the war, I'm guessing it was Thai oud, Cambodia was too dangerous. This is the closest yet, I told Ensar it reminded me of something but couldn't place it, now I can. It didn't have that fruity scent Thai oud has now, maybe a tiny more wood also, I like this Oud Ishaq.
Ensar makes it hard to not like his products I don't work for him but I do have a lot of good to say.
Said enough, have a good day!
